Register to vote

Service personnel and their spouses or civil partners have the option of making a Service declaration, or can chose to register to vote in the traditional way.

If you're based overseas, or expect to be posted abroad in the next year, you should register as a service voter. You can request a registration form by calling Electoral Services or by completing the online form - see the 'Register to vote' link on the right.  A Service Voter registration lasts for five years.

If you're based in the UK and are unlikely to change address or be posted overseas in the next year, you can register as an ordinary voter.
